For those not familiar, Sheetz is a once-great convenience store chain that quickly spiraled into obscurity after discontinuing their fresh-brewed iced tea in favor of Gold Peak chemical water and only offering sweet, super-sweet, southern-style sweet, super-southern style sweet, sweeter sweet, and other…

Forget the drug thing, imagine sensors that connect to a gauge that displays 100% empty (no people, fuel, or cargo) at one end, and max GVWR at the other. You could quickly look to see if your load was within the limits of the vehicle. If it was smart enough to detect fuel capacity and remove that from the display,…

For $50K you can get a hot-hatch that you are not allowed to go over 85mph in and cannot go more than one lap before overheating, or you can get the CTR, a world-class car. Or an Elantra N that will lap all day and a CBR600RR that will also lap all day. 

Serious question though, if say 20 Presidents in a row held firm to huge tariffs on imports to incentivize made in US production, would manufacturing be forced to return to the US, or would stuff just become so expensive that we would become North Korea? 

Dudes in the hospital, the smell of beer on his breath, and he’s telling the ER nurse “I hit a helicopter on my snowmobile”. Sure buddy, sure. 

“It’s not just the physical infrastructure either, it’s the experience and know-how; we can’t just conjure the decades of historical knowledge overnight that has been built up by countries who’ve been industry leaders in manufacturing those products. It’s just not how it works.”

I agree 100%, but that assumes that the…

No one is allowed to swear in a press conference on TV, grow up ya twat. 

If it isn’t’ Heinz Ketchup, then its just crappy German catsup from the people who also brought you dieselgate and zungenwurst. Hard pass. 

Yes, this is why we hate Washington, old white men trying to preserve their notion of the good old days. Things come to an end, even though .00000000000000000001% of the population that still use them. It is sad for the people who still prefer an ice box over an electric fridge, but its progress and it happens. If…

“Woman’s bold scheme to meet Bon Jovi works on first try”

E500/500E, hands-down. Stupidly overbuilt and overengineered chassis, speed and handling by Porsche, guarantee that coke was snorted off a hoooker in the back seat.  

My first new car was a 4-door Sidekick, and it was great. I’d love to find a rust-free example with low miles, but I don’t think they exist. 

The Laforza. Imagine a coach-built Range Rover knock-off without the good looks and worse built quality. At least it had the 5.0 from the Mustang.

The GR86 is the answer. It is the car to have in DS, holds its own on track, and is a blast on back roads. It responds well to mods, can haul a decent amount of stuff for its size, and has proven to be pretty reliable...silica goop issues aside. It starts at $30K and has a strong community behind it.

If you want less…

The M5 is too big, too heavy, and too fragile to take to the track. Despite putting down impressive numbers on paper, its niche is as a GT car, not a corner carver. Most owners drive them to the golf course and love to talk about the specs that the M badge gets you in the locker room, even though they don’t know what…

Chrysler sells the 4th best minivan out of 4, and that’s a niche market. Dodge sells what now? Ram trucks are solid, but they are apparently pissing off the snowflakes. I was surprised to learn that Fiat is still in the US, selling an electric version of their ancient 500. So yeah, they have hardly any vehicles to…

The Pagoda SL is just plain stunning and I want one. 

Think about what these idiots are actually saying, “I hate this company because they want to hire women and minorities and the gays. I want them to only hire straight white men. Preferably, with blond hair and blue eyes because this is the best race. A master race if you will. Anyone else is less deserving.” And…

If you cannot afford the fast, gas-powered wagons from Mercedes, BMW, and Audi, your next option is the...Hyundai Kona N? I can’t think of anything else that is a performance version with 4 doors and a hatch. Oh wait, the GTI and Golf R. So 3 options, and none are really wagons. Maybe you find a used Dodge Magnum R/T…

Maybe not the car, but the concept: the Nissan Pulsar. A 2-door coupe with a a useable cargo hatch during the week and notchback or fastback for the weekends. With turbo-charging and electronic controls and DSG transmissions, it would be easy to make a car that got 40+mpg all week while shuttling kids around and…
